On Boys Don’t Cry, and a royal Miles Mathis f-bomb rant

Back in March I received an email from a person asking to be kept anonymous. In it he was inquisitive of a piece written by Fauxlex called Framing John Lotter: The Fake Murder of Brandon Teena. It was based on the 1999 movie Boys Don’t Cry starring Hillary Swank (pictured above with her doppelgänger, Matt Damon), Chloë Sevigny and Peter Sarsgaard and others. Swank played Teena Brandon, who in the movie is Brandon Teena, a transvestite, or woman passing as a man. In 1993 Brandon is murdered by John Lotter (Sarsgaard) and Tom Nissen (played by Brandon Sexton III). Lotter was accused of the murder of Brandon and two others, Lisa Lambert, and Phillip DeVine, and is sentenced to death, in large part based on the testimony of Nissen, who would later confess that he, and not Lotter, had killed the three victims.

At the time I suggested to Fauxlex that even as we agreed that the murders were fake, and that Brandon (played in the movie by Swank) was played in real life by a woman, Barbra Kramer, still living in a town in Nebraska, that Lotter and Nissen could not possibly be in jail. I was able to match the real-life Brandon Teena photo to a to the living woman who in real life was supposed to be Brandon Teena. (Fauxlex made this connection before I did.) So much time has passed, and I do not have the private emails, but I never said publicly to Fauxlex that I doubted that Lotter and Nissen were in jail. He went after me in public for disagreeing with him, as is his wont.

It is possible that Lotter and Nissen, in real life, are in jail, perhaps for crimes other than these, which were fake, in my view and that of Fauxlex. Was Brandon Teena killed too? It is far easier to kill a fake person than a real one, so yes, she was killed too, figuratively.

That is the backdrop for  this. Back in March I was contacted by a man I will call “ARTEMUS”, as he wishes to remain anonymous. He wanted to get in touch with Fauxlex, he said, and questioned me in depth on the post. I talked over and down to him, as the transcript beneath the fold will show. On re-reading, I wish to hell I had shown just a tad more patience.

Anyway, read it if you have perhaps seven minutes to spare, and make of it what you can. I spent the morning re-reading the Fauxlex piece, and I have to agree that much of the evidence appears planted, the reactions of Lisa Lambert’s parents unreal, and the presence of the US Marshall’s office during the investigation completely out of place. That office transports prisoners, assists in investigations, and manages the Witness Protection Program. We read in the Fauxlex piece that Barbara Kramer, a dead ringer for Teena Brandon/Brandon Teena (Tina), was placed in witness protection in nearby Lincoln, Nebraska. For one thing, she’s not being sought by law enforcement or anyone else, and anyway, witness protection as a stripper in a nearby city?

The ARTEMUS affair coincides with other things going on, as in our former writer Kevin Starr catching the wrath of Miles Mathis in a piece I won’t link, and sending out one of the nastiest, trashiest emails I’ve ever encountered, too ugly to reprint (though if anyone is interested I’ll send it along privately). As I told Kevin, the MM reaction is so overboard that I suspect that Kevin, in researching his background and genealogy, hit on a few things Miles does not want made public.

That’s the backdrop that made me decide to go public with the ARTEMUS exchange below: Kevin Starr is anonymous, as is ARTEMUS, and, I suspect, Miles Mathis. Those initials, MM, in numerology translate to 13 13, as M is that letter of the alphabet, and so MM = 1133. Maybe he is who he says he is, but his mission might well be something other than what he says, perhaps a limited McGowan-style limited hangout.

Add to that a strange sensation that Fauxlex has not disappeared. In my tortured mind, he momentarily became Kevin Starr, but I abandoned that notion quickly. Fauxlex did good work on the Teena Brandon matter, but was so thin-skinned that when I suggested to him that Lotter and Nissen were not in jail, really, that he became enraged and left in a huff, claiming that POM had lost its best writer.

Maybe so. Maybe so. I am unwittingly in a business of intrigue but am so often clueless. Judge for yourself if Faux took it down a few notches to become ARTEMUS (my nickname). The only thing that leads me in that direction is that there were no murders, and therefore, no one went to jail. Fauxlex thought otherwise. He claimed that Lotter is unjustly held on death row, and Nissen serving a life sentence (X3) for no crime at all.

Well, once more thing: ARTEMUS claims that

Yes I understand you say that but I was in prison with Tom Nissen I was his cell mate and his transgender wife I still am .

Circle complete? You be the judge.

Sat Mar 8 25 ARTEMUS:  Hello mark I would like to ask you some questions about the article regarding the fake murder of Tina Brandon ? Would you be willing to discuss this with me?

Mar 8 25, ARTEMUS: Do you have an email for this Fauxlex ? Cuz I am interested in what he said I personally know Tom Nissen and Joann Brandon and I have been looking into this case for years and none of it makes any sense . And I’d like to ask him more about what he wrote where he got the info and what more he can tell me . But I’m also concerned about the fact you disagree with his view and he’s a bit of an ego trip about his ability to write . I’m interested in the part about Barbra Kramer . Tina aka Brandon a stripper from Lincoln  1) Who is this club owner who dated her or was her handler, what is his name ? 2)  who is she married to now and did she stay a butch boy or is she a girl ? Based on the photo of her ?  Also at the end of the article it says Tom Nissen was working under cover for the police from nov to dec to take down Lotter ? But why what the Lotter do prior to this case to attract attention of the US Marshalls and local cops also who was Tom Nissen before all this was he actually an undercover cop this whole time ? Is this guy willing to spend his life out in prison just so he doesn’t blow his cover ? And they keep Lotter on death row . It doesn’t make sense how the media blew this up into national news on trans rights and how every time Tom speaks it’s a different version of the lie he’s told and no one cares . Also Phill Divine is a ghost there’s no proof he existed at all. You wouldn’t even believe me if you knew who I was or what my story is how I’m involved in all that . For now I’ll keep it to myself but I’d really like to know more . Thank you for your time.

Mar 8 25, ARTEMUS: Also do you know if Barbra Kramer has a social media page I won’t contact her I just need to look at some things to see it for myself . I don’t plan to do anything publicly or sabotage anyone I just need my own personal closure if you will and this case is full of holes I have more questions then answers and it’s driven me crazy.

Mar 8 25. ARTEMUS: Also if you need to go back and reread the article . I read the book and watched the movie I personally talked to  Aprhodite Jones . I’ve interviewed Joann Brandon I’ve had many many conversations with Tom Nissen and none of this adds up. This whole story sounds like a bad joke . I’m just very curious.

Mar 9 25: MT: I do not have an email for Fauxlex, as he left in a huff and wanted nothing to do with me or the blog. He did start a blog of his own, and maybe that is still going. The name Fauxlex might get you to him, as it was a nickname he chose somehow based on a fake Rolex. It is unique so if still in use should lead you to him.

At one point (in this event that apparently has your curiosity going) Faux lamented a guy being sentenced to prison for a crime that was not real, as I recall, and I contacted him privately to suggest that people who go to prison in these fake events do not really go to prison. However, in the mind of the public, once someone is dead or in jail, that person ceases to exist and can be in public, and no one will recognize him. Fauxlex was furious with me, his normal reaction to disagreement, I suppose. When he left, I wanted him to stay, but he had had enough. But he did some good work while with me. Disagreements and personality traits are not a big deal when a guy has promise like him. I hope he is still at it and that maybe his ego has subsided a bit.

I don’t know your level of depth in the fake event business, but the idea that you’ve investigated Brandon Teena and that  doesn’t hold up as a story suggests that you have the mentality to engage in this business. It’s a whole ‘nuther outlook on our lives, that celebrities who die young usually just want out of the business, say Andy Kaufman or John Lennon, and are given that way out under tight circumstances – no public appearances!

Anyway, the blog for me over the years has been my Aladdin … a whole new world.

Mar 9 25 ARTEMUS: Yes but you didn’t answer my questions on Barbra Kramer or if she has a Facebook or If Tom Nissen was an undercover agent ? I would really like to know more about that  you seem to know things .

Mar 9 25 MT: Everything I know is going to be in Fauxlex’s post except: I seriously doubt there was an undercover agent involved, as the whole affair was a psyop, so they were all agents. Nobody died, nobody went to jail. This is the thrust of our blog here, that most events that become movies are subject to what we call the “ZAL” rule, that if they made a movie out of it, it was fake.

Mar 10 25 ARTEMUS: But I know Tom Nissen and he is in prison ? So how does that make sense ? At least when I go visit him he is there so what is going on with that . ?

Mar 10 25 MT: See my comment, https://pieceofmindful.com/2020/09/01/framing-john-lotter-the-fake-murder-of-brandon-teena/#comment-136436, where we discussed the matter in as much depth as I cared to go at the time. I had criticized Fauxlex in private emails, and he chose to go public with them. Check out all the comments while you are at it. I have not reread the Brandon Teena piece and won’t, as I spent my ammunition at the time and don’t care to revisit the matter, especially with the nasty comments about me left behind by Fauxlex.

The idea that a person is not in jail but appears in prison garb in a prison setting is not new … check out Charles Manson or Sirhan Sirhan, applying both skepticism and critical thinking to official narratives.

Mar 10 25 ARTEMUS: You just said you emailed him In private what email did you use to do that ? And yes I’m aware of most of what your saying is true my question is if I visit Tom Nissen in prison every week who is the man I’m talking to because if this is a psyop as you say why is he in lcc ? Is Thomas Marvin Nissen 47203 an actor ? Or is he in some kind of witness protection program and they keep him in prison for his own safety because he’s in protective custody I find that odd that someone doing life would want to be in PC status .

Mar 10 25 ARTEMUS: Why use images of a real person? I don’t know. But they did. She was probably well paid and NDA-bound, maybe the Hustler gig part of her payoff. That John Lotter looks and speaks as a man with a higher IQ than 67 … he’s an actor. He was the best of the lot and is on on a lifetime gig. He has not aged well.

Mar 10 25 ARTEMUS: I’ll tell you why they used a image of a real person it was some Tom boy named Brandon. There is a lady named Joann Brandon pretending to be the bio mom of said person what I find funny is spending time with her she seems very mentally ill and strange not only that I spend hours in her house and there’s only 2 pictures of so called Tina Brandon in the whole house and one is the famous photo we all see of Tina on the net and another is a younger girl that looks nothing like the older . So Joann Brandon got paid a hell of a lot of money for this and is still demanding more also she was dating an ex  inmate Jody Reuess when i would hang out with them he didn’t act like a boyfriend but more like a handler and I  was in prison  with Tom Nissen and Jody  and Jody would try to keep me away from Tom Nissen .I kinda wonder if he was an agent and was the key to the whole program . Weird hu ?

Mar 10 25 MT: Each psyop is done to advance an idea that Intelligence is pushing, and so is well thought out in advance. With this one they were pushing transgender, which has gone on to this day. It is the idea that sexual identity has nothing to do with how we are born. We can be a man in a woman’s body, etc. The bottom line for all the gender confusion we see about us, I can only guess, is the same as homosexuality, to minimize reproduction, keep the population from babymaking. Keep in mind that both homosexuality and transgenderism are both real things, but wildly exaggerated by these psyops. You would think that half the population is gay and another 20% transsexual. It is nothing like that. These are minorities, currently over-represented in media.(I seriously doubt that Bruce Jenner underwent a sex change operation. That too is but another psyop to the same end, for which he is paid, maybe very well paid in his case.)

So each psyop is scripted. Actors are hired, and are sometimes called upon to be “lifetime” actors (several arose in Boys Don’t Cry, but there must be thousands of them, there have been so many psyops!) but I do not imagine the pay is all that great. (Sandy Hook alone spawned mabe what, twenty or more actors moving forward?) Each person involved must sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and though I have never seen one they must have real teeth, as people never speak up or out. (If there are military people involved, as is often the case, vilolation of an NDA can lead to jail.)

These psyops are not meant to be done in a vacuum. The purpose of the Brandon Teena psyop was the movie, Boys Don’t Cry, probably written before the fake event. The supposed real-life actors are just that, actors, hired to testify to the movie being real.) They get paid less than the real movie actors. And understand that no one died, so therefore, no one went to prison. No crimes were committed. These psyops are propaganda operations, but propaganda is not illegal.(Once upon a time it was illegal in the US, but that law. was repealed in 2012, Smith Mundt or something like that.) There is so much of it around us, from massive psyops like 9/11 and Columbine and Jonestown down to small ones like this movie. Life is a Jim Carrey movie!

You seem personally involved and therefore have a lot to offer up on this matter. Would you care to write it up for publishing? Our readers would be fascinated to hear about a real person doing real live research on a psyop. I would be sure your identity is protected. You would not be in any danger, as people are conditioned to automatically disbelieve anything that contradicts official public “truth.” Only a few, like me and our readers, would believe you. There are not enough of us to threaten disclosing the psyop. My role here is to investigate psyops, and I have uncovered many, but I am not delusional. I know no one but a few smart people cares. I do it for sheer enjoyment.

Give it some thought.

Mar 10 25 ARTEMUS: I would have to keep my identity secret as there’s a lot involved in my investigation. I do understand how a psyop works Mark . That’s why I want to talk to Fauxlex and ask them where they got their information on all this but I can’t seem to find anything but the name don b jelly for him which is just an ad for jam so I’m guessing they are part of the psyop to or something . My question is who is Tom Nissen then do you really think a paid actor would spend life in prison so not to blow their cover ? I also do believe Tom Nissen was in the military. And yes I’d be willing to tell you my story .

Mar 10 25 MT: As mentioned, no one was killed, no one was hurt. So, no one is in jail. If you make an appointment to visit him, he will show up.

Mar 11 25 ARTEMUS: Yes I understand you say that but I was in prison with Tom Nissen I was his cell mate and his transgender wife I still am. So how can he not really be in prison . ? Who is the man in prison then if not Tom?  I know it’s very confusing but I am trying hard to figure this out . Nothing adds up u know .

Mar 11 25 ARTEMUS: And yes I’m telling you the man who supposedly killed a trans person is madly in love with a trans person so make that make  sense . Lol 😆 and no I’m not delusional or lying I can prove it to you if you need me to .

Mar 11 25 MT: I don’t know. Details details details … how long were you there. Since when do prisoners get to cohabitate? Hang out with buddies?

Mar 11 25 ARTEMUS: I was there xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and they have been pairing inmates up in cells for ages because of over crowding . And we are not supposed to have sex or things like that but it does happen. Unless somehow my whole prison experience was a psyop lol witch would be weird as fuck. But lcc is a real correctional facility as far as I’m aware .  You seem to be very skeptical about a lot of things .I can assure you Mark not everything is a conspiracy or some weird psyop . I wouldn’t be telling you any of this if I didn’t think it was all very odd myself ..that’s why I wanted to talk to Fauxlex . Because he wrote the article he would know more . I was just searching for answers to things in my life that don’t make any sense to me .

Mar 11 25 MT: I AM SURPRISED BY ALL OF THIS, THAT’S ALL. I HAVE NOT PAID CLOSE ATTENTION THIS ONE. IT IS A TWIST AND TURN FOR ME. BE PATIENT. (Original caps.)

Mar 11 25 ARTEMUS: I am being patient . Your fine . I don’t usually talk to people about this and when I talked to Aprhodite Jones she acted like she didn’t care because the story wouldn’t sell books for her . I just started getting real suspicious because nothing was adding up from anyone not even Tom Nissen . And things still don’t make sense.

Mar 11 25 MT: I agree. I love this kind of stuff, lots to figure out. Can you find out, if possible, Tom Nissen’s sentence, crime, when he went in and when he gets out?

Mar 11 25 ARTEMUS: Yes he will never get out he’s doing 3 life sentences .

Mar 11 25 ARTEMUS: I appreciate your time and efforts to talk with me but I don’t think you can provide me with the answers to what Fauxlex wrote and I can’t seem to find him on the web as he’s made himself a ghost . This whole case is strange and doesn’t add up but for now I would like to remain anonymous because my investigation into this is ongoing. I was very interested in the article but I don’t know if I should pursue  this any father at this time. This whole thing could be dangerous. You understand it’s bigger then they let on and if it’s government cover ups who knows how deep it really goes . Unless you know  Fauxlex’s actual name that might give me some leads ? But I just find it weird he disappeared to ? Anyway thank you for everything you’ve been wonderful.

Mar 11 25 ARTEMUS: Sentence Begin Date: 08/16/1995 no projected release date . Next parole hearing 3/2036 most likely not eligible for parole

Mar 12 25 MT: What and when were the crimes?

Mar 12 25 ARTEMUS: Have you ever read this story ? You don’t seem to know much about the situation or case . That’s why I don’t understand how you can deny anyone went to prison because Tom is still in prison. So if he’s an undercover agent he’s really sticking to that cover hard . I wish I knew who the Fauxlex was. I have so many unanswered questions and no one to tell me what I need to know (dates and times were what I told you before and the crimes were 3 counts of first degree murder.

Mar 12 25 MT: I read the story back when it was published and disagreed then that anyone was in prison. I have not looked at it since. You’ve upset my apple cart here and convinced me that I am mistaken about people being in prison. There is more to learn here for sure. Please write up everything you have discovered. I won’t/don’t try to hide from my mistakes. I make them aplenty.

  1. Thanks Mark for sharing this tidbit of drama. I already went on my MM rant yesterday. I do highly recommend reading him, but with a strong grain of salt. You can skim his articles quickly, or just read the headline and get the point.

    I won’t re-hash the issues I have with his blog; he, or someone behind the curtain, is obsessed with getting him promoted to the #1 “truther”. However any so-called truther should realize authority figures, which MM is trying very hard to be on all things “truth”, are not something to pursue – truth has to come from yourself. And he has an obsession with fame, constantly lamenting he should be famous, and that all famous people are Jewish, or Phoenician (not sure how they are related, that has never been fully explicated).

    Last, the claims Google is censoring him, whereas other search engines like Bing are honest, rings pretty hollow. As if Microsoft is an honest corporation different from Google? OK….

    1. I have known people who are both arrogant and condescending and quick to attack others, and MM fits the bill. I think that it is deep insecurity that brings about this state of mind. The world ain’t treating them a they feel worthy of being treated, so they lash out, the anger and condescension just defense mechanisms. Far better to just do as I say (not as I do) and accept that me and my far-fetched beliefs will always be ridiculed be lesser mortals.

      I have a list of events and people I find by my work here on my shrinking readership blog to have been fake … Waco, Jonestown, Tiananmen, just to name three where I tried to be original. And tons more, and it translates into a world where everything imaginable is fake, from prestigious scientists like Einstein to low-grade sociopaths like Michael Mann, and no one will ever believe it, so my choice is to live as I live, quiet and not afraid of anything other than the wonderment of taking care of myself as I do and wondering what malady will undo me! Dick Van Dyke is now 99 and will probably turn 100 before he goes, still going to the gym 3 or 4 times weekly, and lamenting every death of his contemporaries whom he has outlived. Bob Newhart’s passing hit him hard.

      1. Mark, you will like that I have an eyewitness account that Tiananmen square was faked. A senior VP from rural China (who recently passed away), who I knew well – he hired me, was in Beijing at the time and told a close friend (and friend of mine at work) that no one died at Tiananmen, and it was staged. I heard this from my work friend in 2019 – and my first reaction was huh? I thought he was BS’ing to cover up for the Chinese government. But I have found many Chinese in America to be quite willing to openly discuss the corruption in the government of China, without fear. And they are often more willing to criticize their government than Americans, which is refreshing.

        1. Very interesting, Ray. In a comment on my article on the fakery of the Israeli-Palestinian war, Jane Cena posted a link to a mainstream article where a journalist “admitted” that Tiananmen Square was faked.
          https://petraliverani.substack.com/p/images-of-palestinian-children-and/comment/103946776

          However, the journalist also said
          “But there’s no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it.”

          The usual limited hangout BS … just like Dave McGowan’s admission of the fakery of the Boston bombing guy in the wheelchair but also says: “I need to be very clear here in stating that I am not arguing that no one was injured in the attack and that there was no real suffering. That undoubtedly was not the case.”

          1. I looked for any evidence of killings outside of Tiananmen, as this was the fallback, that even though no one died inside the gates, there were murders all over the countryside. There’s no evidence of this, and it is circular to boot, as if there were evidence, it would be controlled by the people claiming it happened but refusing to show evidence.

          2. Yeah that McGowan guy was a real weasel for sure. Mr the terrorists are coming. In fact the suffering was the laypeople of Boston who were dumb enough to fall for this hoax, meaning 99% of the supposedly “smaaht” Bostonians, based on my anecdotal experiences. I have even run into people who moved because of 9/11. My take is if you are afraid of “terrorists” you are weak, and pathetic. Even if there were real terrorists I don’t care – no one with a brain and cajones would ever think twice and fear this kind of thing.

      2. I thought your piece on Columbine was the most original piece, that was differentiating from what else was online. The south park creators as the actors who played the murderers was a great insight – I give that one a high degree of probability. And nailing that SOB Alex Jones as the mediocre “controversial” comic Bill Hicks. When MM says its BS – somebody is covering for somebody there. That one is a softball for zombies. I mean they both had the same best friend/manager for chrissakes.

  2. I just looked at his “my geneology” article he reposted now and I noticed the quote from Einstein. Which is highly suspicious, if you understand who Einstein was. There are so many quotes attributed to him (and many other famous people), that there has to be teams of writers who manufacture quotes for famous people. It’s extremely annoying and obviously fake to be bombarded constantly with cliche like quotes from Einstein, Edison, Jesus frigging christ, etc

  3. The most annoying celebrity i see quotes from constantly is Bruce Lee. Which is odd considering he died very young, for him to have a so many Karate kid like quotes. And Einstein – do people know he spoke no English? Greatest supposed mind of all time and he couldn’t speak English, even though he lived in Princeton, NJ for many years. Even in the early 1900s science was leaning heavily towards English as the lingua franca. Today, you couldn’t get hired at the lowest level of science anywhere without being able to converse in English. My point being how did Einstein have so many memorable quotes if he couldn’t speak English?

  4. Most intriguing.

    I think Artemus may be genuine and for him to be genuine and for Tom Nissen to actually be in jail perhaps the Jeff Dahmer case as analysed on this substack may help explain it. The Dahmer analyst claims that Jeff Dahmer isn’t gay, didn’t commit any crimes of murder (most of which were completely made up with the first one probably being an accidental death involving his parents) and is a victim of human trafficking. The analyst isn’t convinced one way or the other whether Jeff is in jail or not but I think it’s possible that somehow he is even though everyone involved – including him – knows he isn’t guilty.

    Generally speaking, of course, I don’t think any of these people do time, it’s all a complete fabrication, but perhaps sometimes the “fake” guilty party is brainwashed / coerced into it one way or another because those involved want it that way for whatever reason.

    1. Dahmer is said to have died in 1994, at 8:10 AM (Wiki footnote 311). If one watches enough TV drama and cop fiction one might be convinced we are knee deep in serial killers. I don’t imagine such an animal exists or ever has. Anyway, he matched up nicely with Jack Nicholson among my Bokonovsky Brats, as did other supposed killers. He’s still alive somewhere or has died of old age.

      By the way, I think German New Medicine to be far-fetched, but I could not help noting in passing that OJ died of prostate cancer. Imagine him, singled out for mass derision and abuse, comedians having a field day with a nice, harmless and successful actor who made the transition from sports to comedy. Did he die broken and fed up with life? Why was he sinlged out for shaming?

  5. Perhaps sometimes they choose someone who has committed another crime and give them better conditions or a lesser sentence. You could also use look alikes or twins. The possibilities are endless. Then there is the people lie factor. Sometimes we simply forget people lie.

    1. I don’t have them, or at least don’t know how to look for them and find them. I’m not being mysterious or protecting him … I simply said that the idea that people were really in jail for nonexistent crimes in a psyop, as Boys Don’t Cry, was not relisitic. He became very angry and went public with that anger at me, eventually rolling it up and starting his own blog.

      I found the blog, by the way. He quit writing a long time ago. One of his presumptions was that he had solved JFK, and that the man killed in the Zapruder film really was killed, but was not JFK. I’ll find it again and link it later today. But I thought that fairly typical of him, to work hard and come to the wrong conclusion, and then close his eyes, ears and mind about it.

      Are we all like that? More specifically, am I like that too?

  6. Boys Don’t Cry came out (pun!) a year after the Matthew Shepard psy-op when gay bashing was force fed into the national dialogue. Fun fact: Diane Keaton originally wanted to direct with Drew Barrymore and her eternal baby fat in the lead. To go from that to an unknown director and Hillary Swank as the leanest androgyn imaginable, and being paid all of $3,000 US for her work suggests this was never a film the big cigars in Hollywood would ever get behind and the CIA took over the project themselves. Swank getting an Oscar for her troubles seems like further arm twisting to me. It seems counter intuitive but Hollywood still has a big closet to hide certain interests within.
